The ascent to the Bödele Losenpass from the east (Schwarzenberg) described here is more scenic than the ascent from Dornbirn, located on the other side of the pass. During the climb there are wide views in north-easterly and easterly direction of the high, green hills of the Bregenzerwald with the Allgäu Alps in the background. I cycled here on a sunny, clear September day, when the highest parts of the mountains were covered with snow. Very beautiful! The climb is short (5.6 kilometers) and only 444 meters in altitude are overcome. The road often has a gradient of 8 or 9% but there are some steeper outliers (including three 250 meter sections of 11-12%).
